Dan pauses by the office on his way out. That elevator -has- been broken for too long. He knocks on the door, hoping to get a day that someone's coming to fix the elevator.

...

He knocks again.

...

"Baah. Fuck this. They're probably off boning the cleaning staff of their motels or something," gripes Dan as he storms off to continue his errands. He idly wonders if he should check for a new apartment when he saves up enough money.

>>23537
Post office first, they probably close the earliest.

Dan heads to a nearby postal shop that conveniently handles the various shipping companies, and regular mail.

He heads up to the automatic sliding doors, hoping that it'll be a quick in-dropoff-out procedure.

...Godfuckingdammit! Look at that huge mob of people. With a sigh, Dan gets in line.

((Timeskip Activate))

Dear lord that took forever. He was sure he heard someone break down in tears from the wait at one point.

But that task is completed now.

>>23553
Now, nice lunch SOMEWHERE NOT YOUR RESTAURANT, and groceries.
Anything in particular your mum likes?

Dan's not sure how long he spent in there, but suddenly he realizes that he's hungry again. He ponders on where to go.

>>23857
>SOMEWHERE NOT YOUR RESTAURANT
Dear lord yes. ...maybe that Pasta Hut down the street. They usually give pretty good portions at a reasonable price.

Dan starts walking that way, pondering on what he'll get his mom. Maybe some flowers? Perhaps something that'll be used up? Something that won't say 'I did this because I had to, you hideous, skin-wrapped blob of cellulite'. On the other hand... Mom is a bit fond of her sweets.

>>23966
Get her sugar-free nougat bars.
That'll show her.

>>23966
Fruit-roll-up condom

Dan reaches the Pasta Hut! A lone worker in a striped shirt stands inside, a button on her shirt cheerfully declaring her 'mad about meat sauce'. "Yeah? What'll it be?" snarks the girl inside the hut. ...what they lack in customer service, they make up for in food quality, quantity, and convenience.

Dan peruses the menu as he further considers ideas. Perhaps sugar-free would be good. Most sugar-free snacks taste passable these days, and it'd be a subtle 'Lose weight, fatty' message that could easily be overlooked.

The thought of condoms crosses his mind as his eyes drift around the menu, occasionally glancing at the girl's sour expression. He gets a brief mental image flash of his mother in a situation requiring one and shudders, cursing his imagination.

>>25545
Sure lets go with a sugar-free umm hotdog?

>>25545
Chicken alfredo.
Or do you have another preference?

Dan goes ahead and gets some chicken alfredo. Briefly he wonders if they have mac + cheese + hotdogs, but shuffles that thought aside. He can make that at home. He also gets something to drink.

In moments he has his food, and his drink is placed in a Pasta Hut Drink Sling for ease of carry and handed over.

He continues on his way, mind still roaming. Yeah... a giftbox of sugar-free candy, and maybe a card. That should be good for his mom. And he could probably get it in the same store as the milk. If he went to SuperCheapoMart, he might be able to find a decent outfit there as well. Said outfit might fall apart in a few days, but he might find one that at least -looks- good.

Onward, to supercheapo mart!

SuperCheapoMart... You'll never find a more wretched hive of Savings and Convenience. We must be cautious...

Dan enters, wondering just what section to hit up first. Should he just get his stuff and go, or browse the fun things, like the Electronics section, the Computing and Video Game section, the Book section, the Tools section, etc. etc. etc.? Should he get a cart? So many options...

>>28074
Well, he damn well needs to get a cart. He should also get the gift first so we don't have to worry about it.

Yeah, he might need the cart. If nothing else, he can use it to make getting around the monster-size store much easier.

Dan sets off toward the candy section. His eyes scan the various aisle signs as they display the aisle contents.

The thought crosses Dan's mind that mmmmmaybe he's overdone it just a hair. Maybe.

He starts putting some of the sugary treats back where they belong.

At least he has Mother's gift taken care of. What next?

>>30253
Find some wrapping paper and ribbon.
Might as well dress it up.
Any other groceries you need?

Only other bit of groceries that Dan needs is the milk. Might as well get it now.

After getting something nice to put his mom's candy in and a nice card, he treks for the dairy section of the grocery area.

Dan idly notes that the refrigeration unit is rumbling pretty loudly in the back. He decides to mention it to the next employee he sees.

You can't possibly drink that much milk before it goes bad. Just grab what you need and head out. And remember, if there isn't a living person manning the register, you don't have to pay!

He crawls out of the ruined display of Kuhral Krispies ((I have got one shereal to deshtroy your hunger! Nyanyanya!)) and finds his feet. He stumbles back toward the Dairy section.

"-MY FUCKING DAY OFF GODFUCKINGDAMYOU!"

What... just happenned? Dan doesn't remember. His hands... more specifically, his knuckles... are bleeding. He's beating and ripping at whatever that thing was, electronic components scattered around him. A few of its limbs aren't on it anymore. The already wrecked store is a bit more wrecked.

What just happened? He's not sure, but he feels a little less stressed.

>>179818
A little berserkergang is what happened. There was probably alot of cursing and howling like an animal involved. But that's over with now. So get up and see what you can salvage, find anything that looks like it could be used as a weapon. Punching robots to death is a good way to wear out your knuckles, so something else than fists could be nice.

Yes, this is a store, they will have stuff to be used as weapons.

Right... right... weapon...

There might be more of those things out there... I need to defend myself... I need to patch up my hands, too...

I meander my way towards the medical supplies area, picking up and discarding various items for potential use as weapons. Cans, shelf supports, bottles, occasionally a stand-up advertising sign... Improvised crap doesn't seem too sturdy. The cans seem most likely to stand up to a few blows, but they're full of squishy foodstuff, so probably wouldn't last.

I... guess this place is a no-go for that milk. I wonder where to try next.

>>203443
Gas station.

If you want to find a weapon in a grocery store, might I suggest you duck behind the meat counter and get some of their sharp implements?

Bug spray. Tons of bug spray!

Where to get milk though...

>>203443
There should be some mops or something that you can fashion improvised clubs out of. Or get some ductape, a broom handle and a knife (hammers and nails would be needed to make a relaly good one) and you could make an improvised spear. First split one end of the handle, then remove the grip (make sure it's one of those knifes that have a metal core that is a part of the blade in their grip) of the knife, place the knife into the split wood, apply liberal amounts of ductape, if you got a hammer and nails then put a few nails through to make sure it's stable and apply even more ductape around it.

If that's not possible then just head on over to the meat section and go back into the employe part of it to find some kniferesistant gloves and a butcher knife or two. If they don't have that either then I'm almost out of ideas.

And places like the gas station or conveniance stores might have some milk. As a last case scenario I guess you could try finding a woman with a baby and get milk that way.

Wasn't the alien carrying some sort of gun? Or did you break that too?

Grocery store? Nono... SuperCheapoMart eats grocery stores by the handful, like dry cereal. Hardware, software, clothing, haircuts, banking, toys, accounting, hunting, gardening, automotive, lumber, dry goods, wet goods, frozen goods, pet goods, pets, postal supplies, office supplies, weather supplies, pool supplies... If it's legal and doesn't need any sort of special licensing, I could probably find it somewhere in the aisles here. Provided I there's not a crowd or something.
Knives might be good, though.

>>203571
I'll keep the spear idea in mind. But I'll pass on the 'woman' idea. That's gross. Not my fetish at all. Sicko.

>>214065
I... Was there? It's all a blur. There might have been. I guess I can go check if it's in good shape. It's on the way to the meat counter anyways.
